After Commons Speech, Campaigners mark 5 years since Ed Miliband shaved his beard off
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that after Ed Miliband’s much praised performance in the Commons on 14th September, leading for Labour on the Internal Market Bill debate, that he may be the hirsute Prime Minister Britain never had.
Miliband is normally seen clean shaven but in 2015 he grew a beard while on holiday in Australia during August that year.
However BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew who had interviewed Miliband on Test Match Special in the past reported to listeners of the coverage of the second One Day International between England and Australia at Lords on Saturday September 5th 2015 that Miliband was present in the crowd and had shaved his beard off.
This was later confirmed by BLF sources.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said we support diversity in appearance so Ed Miliband in our view can have a beard or not as he chooses. However we might also reflect that had he kept the gravitas adding beard he might have become the first Hirsute Prime Minister since 1902.
